Just three percent of adults own half of America’s guns

19. OK, just to make sure people understand

Just because you have guns doesn't make you crazy, a gun humper and all the other fine "well thought out" examples some use. Pretty much the same example as set by dipshit donnie saying all muslims need to be watched or removed from this country.

And as I said before here is my stance on gun policies. First anyone on either the terrorist watch list or the no fly list should not be able to buy guns of any form. Even the violent felon restriction proposals. This is actually stronger statement then the recent proposed law which just asked for the no fly list. Next I believe in closing the loop holes in both on line and gun show gun sales on back ground checks. I believe in stronger communication between states and other government entities to prevent some sales of guns to individuals who wouldn't be able to get guns otherwise. I do not conceal carry or open carry. But for some I can see the reason for the conceal carry. My daughter works at a job where she gets off late at night. She has a concealed carry license and does carry one. I don't agree with the open carry though. Even though it hasn't been a "major" problem. I can see as people polarize it could become more of one. Something like the protests or at different rallies it to me has a real good chance of escalating violence.


So anyways I am one of that 3%. I own 19 guns. Have you ever wondered how some of us may come across those guns. Or why we might have them?

First there are the guns I actually shoot. I have 2 deer rifles. One is lever action the other a bolt. Different guns for different situations. Next a 22 rifle. I like using it target shooting these are a lot cheaper for plinking. Next a shotgun for duck season. Next what I consider the home defense pistol. Next 3 are ones given to me when my father died and my father in law died. One a ww II rifle (My father), another from the time during the Korean conflict of my father in law, and one from his father. None of which I shoot. I consider myself as more of a caretaker. Next a friend of ours husband died. When he did she did not want the gun and didn't want to sell to some random stranger. So she gave it to me.


Last group of guns. And yes they would be considered in a generic poll asking about how many guns someone owns. The rest are black powder guns. I really like crafting the kits and shooting them. Also received some when my father in law died.


So I guess I'm one of those paranoid gun humpers
